Why isn’t Payet playing Vasco x Lanús?
Payet left the duel against Ceará, on April 15, with pain in his right knee. In exams performed after returning to the CT, the midfielder had diagnosed an injury to the medial knee collateral ligament. The injury is similar to what he had at the beginning of the Brasileirão of 2024. At the time, he spent 27 days out of the team.
If he is almost a month out, Payet will lose six more Vasco games. In addition to Lanús, he must be embezzled before Cruzeiro, Operário, Puerto Cabello (Ven), Vitória and again Lanús.
How long does the payet contract go?
Payet has a contract with Vasco until May 5 according to CBF Bira. However, there is an agreement between the hill giant and the French so that it is until the end of July, but oor while there is nothing confirmed.
Vasco’s lineup against Lanús
Coach Fábio Carille needs a victory so as not to risk dismissal after the match. Internally, the coach’s work is in check and an immediate response needs to be given on the field. There is a doubt in the offensive sector: whether Cruz-Maltino starts the match with Garré or Rayan.
Tchê Tchê steering wheel is once again an option, but Carille must keep Jair. Midfielder Payet has no game conditions. He suffered injury in the right knee -knee collateral ligament in the match against Ceará on the 15th.
Likely Vasco’s lineup: Leo Garden; Paulo Henrique, João Victor, Lucas Freitas and Lucas Piton; Hugo Moura, Jair and Coutinho; Nuno Moreira, Garré (Rayan) and Vegetti. Technical: Fábio Carille
